Hey everyone,

I'm writing on behalf of a friend - their issue with 'Steam'.

They are running Windows 7 64bit Ultimate edition 4GB Ram, Nvidia GeForce GTX 250, i5 CPU, Steam installed.

Steam runs perfectly except, when they try to download a DEMO the BLUE SCREEN of DEATH comes up.

They said they can download and run demos individually, but for some reason more than one at a time and the Blue Screen comes up. Never had any trouble with Windows 7 before. Not a big problem as the OS runs well, just curious as to why this would be happening.

Bit unusaul ay? lol

Oh well, what does everyone think? Is is just a random case, Windows 7, or Steam that's the problem?

Yeah that could be the issue. I'll tell her to give it a try - sucks about you having to re-install Windows dude!

Thanks for the reply.
